I can’t get rid of them. I’ve tried the sprinkle repellants as well as the buzzing kind as well as the poison bait. My dog is a cat killer so that’s not an option. Any suggestions??
I’m starting to feel like Carl Spackler.

I also live in central Ms and my yard is loaded with them. I got some gopher gasser from tractor supply and am planning on using those next week.

Many years ago I had a problem. I bought a Victor mole trap, gently depressed an active tunnel, put the trap with spikes in place and caught them all. They are so scared they haven’t returned in twenty years.

should be easy to turn your dog into a mole killer, too.


You can see the mole runs in my neighbors yard and they stop at the fence. They learned quick once my dog started hunting them.

My useless dog has zero interest in the moles. Before I moved him home from the farm full-time, the neighbors cats handled them. He will kill possums, raccoons; moles, nope.

The only thing I have yet to try is Sophyre. Nothing else has finalized those bastards.

I swear by these traps and if you take your time and set them correctly, they will frick up some moles.

Trapline Traps

Kill their food. Not sure how big your yard is but start with a bag of bifen or similar

Get a dog or learn to live with them. I've tried everything, and I mean everything. Nothing works long-term. You'll get a season or two relief, but they come back. They always come back.

I absolutely wreck them with these things. Moles are territorial so it's usually 1 or 2 per area of your property. Nothing has worked as well as these for me. Kill 5-6 a year. Last straw for me was spraining my ankle in one of their tunnels I didn't see and stepped on.

Find a "fresh" tunnel and set it properly. It's always fun when you see one has been set off.

ETA:

I actually got my neighbors using them too, so we are able to control them way better. They can't hide and breed in my neighbors yard and then move to mine, because they die there too.
